General Discussion Area / Poor performance this morning
« on: 14 September 2006, 12:51:45 »
OK, we have identified the cause of the poor performance this morning, and have rectified. Performance should be back to what it was yesterday, possibly still with the slow down for certain ISPs. MTU currently back to default, we may have to change again at some point over next few days depending on reported speed issues.
The cause was unrelated to the Redhat server that runs the forum.
I would like to sincerely apologise for the problems that todays slow down and outages (it had a reboot, plus apache restarted a few times).

OK, MTU changed on Redhat server overnight. Does it appear faster today (Thurs) and it did before, or is it slower?

Would you believe it, it was all going too well. The useless piece of shit has now developed a misfire

General Discussion Area / Ronnie McB does it again!
« on: 05 September 2006, 14:43:34 »
Thinking that the rad switch was the last problem on TB1 (how wrong I was), Ronnie went digging about, found one, and got it to me by 9:30am today. Once again I have to thank Ronnie for such a prompt service...

Useless piece of junk has blown its load
Got home from work, and it decided to dump a shit load of coolant
Looks like its running down the front from behind the crank pulley, so not sure if coming forward from cooler, if if an unrelated issue from water pump

General Discussion Area / Oil Change Guide - Feedback

Tunnie - I've modified your guide, putting in torx bit size, bit about older ones with copper washer, and filter only should be hand tight

General Discussion Area / Project TB1 update
« on: 26 August 2006, 21:15:19 »
Time for an update.
Split coolant pipe replaced and oil cooler changed and reassembled with Tunnie's help. Constant coolant flushes are starting to have an effect, as the coolant is now coming out fairly clear, with just odd oil droplets
Rear door central locking motor replaced with one from Ronnie McB, though door card not put back on yet as a previous owner must have had a go, and has knackered a self tapped hole.
Rear multiram repaired, and when activated with a Tech2 moves as expected.
Outstanding problems:
Rad fans don't appear to come on. Shorting out pins 1 and 2 on rad sensor brings on 1 fan, shorting 1 and 3 does bugger all.
Temp gauge has packed up (this was working intermittently when we put it back together, but hasn't worked for days)
Its holding back under heavy acceleration. I know its 'only' a 2.5, but it should go better than it is. The split hose would have sprayed water all over DIS.
Any ideas with these 3 issues?

General Discussion Area / Am I insured to drive project car?
« on: 24 August 2006, 21:22:08 »
Possibly one for the Police members here...
My insurance says I am allowed to drive any car with owners consent not owned by me.
So if I make Mrs TheBoy the legal owner, am I insured? I guess so, but wondered if that would be the case, as she won't be insured to drive, despite it being hers?
Anyone know for sure?
